Asteroid Family Associations of Active Asteroids [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2018 Abstract We report on the results of a systematic search for associated asteroid families for all active asteroids known to date. We find that 10 out of 12 main-belt comets (MBCs) and five out of seven disrupted asteroids are linked with known or candidate families, rates that have ∼0.1% and ∼6% probabilities, respectively, of occurring ...

An Algorithmic Approach for Detecting Bolides with the Geostationary Lightning Mapper
Sensors, 2019 The Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) instrument onboard the GOES 16 and 17 satellites can be used to detect bolides in the atmosphere. This capacity is unique because GLM provides semi-global, continuous coverage and releases its measurements ...

, 2015 Asteroid photometry has three major applications: providing clues about asteroid surface physical properties and compositions, facilitating photometric corrections, and helping design and plan ground-based and spacecraft observations. The most significant advances in asteroid photometry in the past decade were driven by spacecraft observations that ...

Nature, 2009 The production of terrestrial andesites in subduction zones is well established. Day et al. describe two examples of meteorites (GRA 06128 and GRA 06129) that they claim to represent "an entirely new mode of generation of andesite crust compositions" on asteroids; this suggestion has wide implications for the generation of andesitic planetary crusts in

Comparison of Asteroids Observed in the SDSS with a Catalog of Known Asteroids [PDF]
Astron.J.124:1776,2002, 2002 We positionally correlate asteroids from existing catalogs with a sample of $\about$18,000 asteroids detected by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS, Ivezi\'{c} {\em et al.} 2001). We find 2641 unique matches, which represent the largest sample of asteroids with both accurate multi-color photometry and known orbital parameters.

Small asteroid system evolution [PDF]
Proceedings of the IAU 9:S310 (2015) 108-117, 2014 Observations with radar, photometric and direct imaging techniques have discovered that multiple asteroid systems can be divided clearly into a handful of different morphologies, and recently, the discovery of small unbound asteroid systems called asteroid pairs have revolutionized the study of small asteroid systems.

Short-Term Consequences of Asteroid Impacts into the Ocean: A Portuguese Case Study
Universe, 2022 Asteroid impacts are a proven global threat, meaning that any location on Earth might be a subject to their consequences. Such collisions are not likely in any person’s lifetime, but their aftermath could be catastrophic.
